fix ownership of data directory and installed files

The two rainloop ports fail to set the required ownership on its data directory. The directory is created with ownership set to root. rainloop wants to write there as thw web server user.

Also, it sets the owner of all the php program files to the web user, which is not necessary and could be a potentials security problem. 

The suggested patch modifies this behaviour. Is it OK to commit?

fix ownership of data directory and installed files

Hello,

thanks for your patch.

is this possible to make EMPTY and VERSION owned by root ?

Also, why index.php is written by www-data, this is a possible security problem
Comment 2 Palle Girgensohn freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-09-25 13:03:21 UTC
Ah yes, you're right, they should all be owned by root.

Just change to this?


+%%WWWDIR%%/data/EMPTY
+%%WWWDIR%%/data/VERSION
+%%WWWDIR%%/index.php
+@owner %%WWWOWN%%
+@group %%WWWGRP%%
+@dir %%WWWDIR%%/data

Log:
  Make sure we don't install program files as the web user

  It is sufficient that the data directory is writable.
